2006 V-Star 1100 Classic

I found this forum because of a lack of parts and information for Yamaha cruisers online.

I've had no luck finding the right intake mods for my bike. I would love to meet you guys and get your input.

Noticed in your bikes picture that the mufflers are very blued. This is a sign of a very lean running engine. Something I would address quickly. Here's a few intesting threads to check out when you get a chance:

That was from the previous owner. Bike got complete tune up after I purchased it. It only had 483 miles when I bout it. It’s got about 800 now. The only issue is when I hit highway speeds it starts sputtering but I read that it is the carb vent hose. I am going to try to figure something out for it.
